This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the +Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol. +<p><br><a name="COMPONENTS"></a> +<h2>COMPONENTS</h2> + +<p><br>The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is +described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that +you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages +of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear +enough then please send a patch to <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. +<p><br><ul> +<p><br><li><strong><a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a></strong> <br> <br> The <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong> +(8)</a> daemon provides the file and print services to SMB +clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups or +LanManager.

A copy of that license should have come with the package in the +file COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba +suite, but please keep obey the terms of this license. +<p><br>The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous +ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is +also available on several mirror sites worldwide. +<p><br>You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup +comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join +the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba. +<p><br>If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then +you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues +of the Samba mailing list, at +<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/">http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/</a>. +<p><br><a name="VERSION"></a> +<h2>VERSION</h2> + +<p><br>This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite. +<p><br><a name="CONTRIBUTIONS"></a> +<h2>CONTRIBUTIONS</h2> + +<p><br>If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you +join the Samba mailing list at <a href="mailto:samba@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. See the +Web page at +<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc">http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc</a> +for details on how to do this. +<p><br>If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them +directly to <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. Note, however, that due to +the enormous popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some +time to repond to mail. We prefer patches in <em>diff -u</em> format. +<p><br><a name="CREDITS"></a> +<h2>CREDITS</h2> + +<p><br>Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but +all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at +<a href="ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log">ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log</a> +for the pre-CVS changes and at +<a href="ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log">ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log</a> +for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source +code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The +project would have been unmanageable without it. +<p><br>In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba +Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at +<a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html">http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html</a>. +<p><br><a name="AUTHOR"></a> +<h2>AUTHOR</h2> + +<p><br>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the +Linux kernel is developed. +<p><br>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page +sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open +Source software) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy +Allison, <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. +</body> +</html> |
